EAZY supporting holding and clamping system

Abstract

The present invention relates to a supporting, holding and clamping tool system and a method associated with the system. With respect to the system, it is a pair of devices and attachments designed to attach to a wall to support construction sheathing while securing it to the wall, which may also be used for a versatile clamping device. This system can be used by one person to facilitate installing heavy sheets of sheet rock, Siding, plywood or other materials to be installed on the vertical wall or surface.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A system for holding, supporting, and/or clamping, comprising:
 a wall back plate, said wall back plate having an upper surface and a lower surface, four countersunk mounting holes and two threaded holes, each of said two threaded holes configured to receive a work bench pin; 
 a block attached to said upper surface of said wall back plate, said block having a base portion having a first threaded portion and a second threaded portion extending into and terminating within said block, whereby a first said work bench pin is threaded through a first one of said two threaded holes and into said first threaded portion, and a second said work bench pin is threaded through a second one of said two threaded holes and into said second threaded portion, said block further having a threaded bore extending substantially parallel to said upper surface of said wall back plate; and 
 an adjustment screw threaded through said threaded bore, said adjustment screw having a first end and a second end opposite said first end; 
 said adjustment screw further having a handle extending through a portion proximate said first end of said adjustment screw, a hex head shaped portion at said first end, a swivel having a first side attached to said second end of said adjustment screw and a clamp head attached to a second side of said adjustment screw. 
 
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a saddle clamp attached to said lower surface of said wall back plate which allows for attachment to wall studs. 
 
     
     
       3. The saddle clamp of  claim 2 , further comprising: a knob handle or a cam lock lever, said cam lock lever configured to affix and release said saddle clamp from said wall studs. 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an L-shaped accessory configured to support a sheathing or horizontal surface during installation, said L-shaped accessory being secured to said clamp head, wherein:
 said L-shaped accessory is configured such that, during installation, a user may slip one edge of said sheathing onto one or more of said systems equipped with said L-shaped accessory. 
 
 
     
     
       5. The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a template, into which a series of holes are drilled, which can be used by a user to accurately drill additional holes along a surface which will allow for insertion of respective said pins by a first end of each said pins, a second end opposite said first end of each of said pins traveling through an underside of the wall back plate.
